OPINION: No Retreat, No Surrender: Securing Yorùbáland at All Costs

The rise of Bandits who are mostly Fulani origin armed with sophisticated weapons and AK 47 will lead to rise of ethnic militias across Nigeria.
This was how Mali, Burkina Faso and Sudan became terrorist ravaged zones.

This was how Armed nomadic janjaweeds displaced the people of Darfur in Sudan and took over their land.

The Yorùbá people will not driven out of homeland by armed non state actors without the indigenous Yorùbá people using their constitutional rights which is self defense to defend and protect themselves in our homeland.

We will not cede one inch of Yorùbáland in Kwara-Kogi or anywhere to terrorists in the name of graveyard peace. We will defend our honour, glory and ancestral heritage with everything we have.

The Yorùbás have never taken up arms to displace any ethnicity from their ancestral homeland in Nigeria, so why should we watch while Bandits of fulani origin who are not indigenous to Yorubaland the Yoruba, drive us out of our homeland????

To the Yorubas of Kwara and Kogi, do not fret or be afraid, organize, organize, organize, organize, organize!!!!!!

We will be standing toe to toe and side by side with the Yorubas of Kwara and Kogi in this darkest hour.

We will not be silenced. All the local governments that Bandits of Fulani origin are taking over in Kwara state and Kogi state are full of gold, onyx, lithium and tourmaline. This is the same playbook in Darfur in Sudan.

Brothers and sisters, this is not politics but survival. The Northern frontier borders of Yorubaland must be protected at all costs.

This is the final stand, the madness of 1825 must be stopped at all cost.
This is why we are TYF. We must be there for the Yoruba people when it is the most uncomfortable for us.

God is with us. We will work with all stakeholders to help the Yorùbás of Kwara and Kogi at the dire moment.
